This weblog discusses the finer points of videogame character costumes.
Philosophy and rules:
1) The ideal costume looks cool, but also has a soul.
2) Overall aesthetics of the game also come into play.
3) A great costume can make a good game great or a bad game warrant a rental.
4) Unlockable outfits must be worth the trouble of obtaining it and playing through the game multiple times.
5) Cosplay is now in the mix!

Simple kind of wonderful

Sometimes it’s not about how unique or original an outfit is, it’s about how it’s worn. I mentioned this before for some characters in Advance Wars, but there’s no better example than Poison from the Final Fight series.

A police-style cap, simple white half tank top, cut-off jeans, two leather chokers (neck and arm), and two high-heal pumps. It wasn’t meant to win awards, it just had to be thug-like so Cody and crew could whup on them.

Almost immediately, she stood out. To use a phrase I don’t particularly like to use, she totally worked it. This character sculpt by Reflect shows just how awesome this outfit can be when worn with the right attitude. In some rendtitions, she also has hand-cuffs, but they’re very optional.

Piyo - I'm sure the pics are out there somewhere. I'll look for them when I get a chance.

Miya - The Cammy statue was recently made into a collectible pre-painted figure. It was fairly affordable and you didn't have to worry about painting or putting it together. It seems to be sold out at most places now, but you can pre-order the restock shipments here: http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD01049 or here for the alt color: http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD01048

I believe that in fact capcom intended it as a woman, but seeing that at that time hitting a woman wasn't politically correct, they said, in order to avoid problems, that it was a gay. It seems they changed their mind a bit later in captain commando.

That was due to censorship. They thought it was unmanly to hit a woman, so better hit gays. I never played that version, nor i will ever want, i really love poisno sprite, when you hit her, the t-shirt goes up and you can see a glimpse of what lies under...

indeed, you had spoken with the words of wisdom, if you wanna give the perfect example of this is this girl, by the way what a amazing design in this figure, definitely I have to buy this and one of Viagra Online, you know every time that I saw a figure like that, I end more impressed about the work of the manufacturers.Generic ViagraBuy Viagra.
